Our Reviews

  • My wife and I decided to adopt "Pepper", an 8yr old Pomeranian/Jack Russell mix after a neighbor ( thanks Elly) alerted us of her availability. She had been surrendered by a previous owner who had fallen on hard times and was being cared for by one of their staff who did not want her jostled around foster homes due her last few months of uncertainty. This agency was top notch in disclosing all of Pepper's history, updating her shots and obtaining her previous medical records. It took 24hrs for Pepper to settle in and bond with us, we are delighted that she is as happy as we are to have her!

  • I attended the super dog adoption event in June and had fallen in love with Roxie prior to the event while researching available dogs online. I completed the pre approval paperwork online. Everyone at Rhode Home was very helpful in making this adoption experience pleasant and timely. This is not my first adoption but was my first from this organization. Roxie was rescued from a high kill shelter in the south and transported to RI for another chance at life. We've been helping her learn how to dog and play with her other furry siblings. I don't even like to think about what would have happened if they hadn't rescued her. Thanks for saving these babies and especially our new baby!

  • positive review  I have been a foster mom for Rhode Home Rescue for the past year. I am so grateful that I applied to this organization to foster. Everyone involved is so dedicated and devoted to every dog in their care. They make sure they find the perfect fit for each dog. I love helping out and making a difference in a dog’s life. Although it is hard to give up a pup that I have grown attached to, I know in my heart that RHR has worked hard to find each pup a wonderful “furever” home! If you are considering fostering, this is the Rescue group to apply to!

  • What a wonderful experience getting our newest family member. We visited the Always Adopt event to add to our family and we found Buttercup (now Princess Buttercup :)). The rescue workers are warm, caring and helpful -- more than willing to work hard to help find a perfect match between dog and family. We did not bring our dog to the event because we were not sure what to expect. But one of the staff drove all the way out to our house so Moose could meet Buttercup. He was very knowledgeable about dog behavior, was very good about understanding the dogs interaction, and facilitated a great introduction. He also let us know what we could expect during the transition and assured us that Rhode Home Rescue would be there to help in anyway we might need. If you are looking for a new family member I would highly recommend Rhode Home Rescue.

  • THANK YOU FOR MY MARLEY GIRL � My family & I adopted a 1 yr old female lab ~ Marley Mae (AKA- Brownie Marie) in Dec. She’s so sweet, loving, chilled out and such a perfect addition to our family, we’re all madly in love with her, as are all of our friends/family who’ve met her. My adoption experience with: “Rhode Home Rescue” was perfect. I give them an easy 5 Stars but they deserve more �� �����’s. They are honest, kind hearted, dedicated, caring, hardworking, professional and such selfless people. They truly care & make sure the pets go to the best/safest homes, thus setting them up for a lifelong SUCCESSFUL life (vs failure) with a great family reducing the odds of them being bounced around more than they already have in their tough lives (poor babies) � I was so pleased with the whole process, they did exactly what I expected to assure my girl was put into the best of hands. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU � � � Also, I’m pretty sure they all volunteer their time & homes fostering multiple dogs, they pick up truck loads of dogs at all hours – which is really amazing & shows their true love & compassion for these beautiful creatures created by God. ������ I will “ONLY” use Rhode Home Rescue when the time comes to adopt our next family member. I’d love another now, but 2 is enough for the time being ����.) Thanks again to: “THE ENTIRE TEAM.” You are so dedicated & do your absolute best to do right by these beautiful animals. If you are reading this and have any doubts on adopting or fostering ~ PLEASE re-read this review �- they really and truly are the best Rescue I’ve ever dealt with. I signed up & look forward to volunteering my time to help with this selfless act they do which saves so many lives of beautiful dogs who deserve “life” and to live an extremely happy one. � I will try to add some pics of my beautiful girl on the site. ����

  • positive review  A huge THANK YOU to all of the many volunteers, who made it possible for us to adopt our new family member. The screening process was clearly explained, and much info was provided with the fur baby we chose. Maddie is extremely well behaved, playful, asks to go out, and curious about anything and everything - as a 4 1/2 month old puppy. Right from the start, she had no signs of stress or behavioral problems of any kind. I think this is due to the great care/love that RHR and the foster family took with Maddie, in the week before she become an important part of our family. We love Maddie and really appreciate the great work that RHR does. This rescue was suggested to us by multiple friends, and I have to agree that they are fantastic. Highly recommended!

  • Our puppy, now 6 months, has been an absolute blessing to our family. RHR takes such good care of their animals, and we are forever grateful to them for bringing this little girl to be adopted in RI! Here ears are perky, her personality is loud and confident, and she is the most fun lady in any room. She enjoys her puppy lesson from Modern Dog training, and her days of daycare at Bow Chika Wow Town - which both help to socialize her during this strange time we are living through with being distant from everyone. She is thriving, and so is our family all thanks to RHR! Seriously can’t say enough about the adoption process, the care of the dogs, and the flawless follow through to ensure proper adoption. We are eternally grateful!
